Merino wool, a fabric celebrated for its exceptional qualities, has been a staple in the production of hiking socks for several decades. Originating from the Merino sheep, primarily found in Australia and New Zealand, this type of wool is renowned for its ultra-fine fibers, which make it softer and more flexible than regular wool.

The journey of Merino wool into hiking apparel, particularly socks, began as outdoor enthusiasts sought materials that provided both comfort and functionality on the trail. Merino wool’s natural properties quickly made it a preferred choice. It’s known for its excellent thermal regulation, providing warmth in cold conditions and breathability in warm conditions, which is essential for maintaining comfort during various types of hikes. Additionally, Merino wool can absorb a significant amount of moisture — up to 30% of its weight — without feeling wet, keeping hikers’ feet dry and reducing the risk of blisters.

The adoption of Merino wool in hiking socks gained momentum in the late 20th century as advances in textile technology allowed for improved durability and less itchiness, overcoming some of the traditional drawbacks of wool. Brands began to innovate blends that mixed Merino with synthetic fibers, enhancing the durability and elasticity of the socks without compromising the wool’s natural benefits.

Today, Merino wool hiking socks are considered a premium choice for outdoor activities. They combine comfort, durability, and the natural capabilities of Merino wool to regulate temperature and resist odors, making them an indispensable part of any hiker’s gear. Their evolution continues as manufacturers explore eco-friendlier practices in wool production and more advanced fabric technologies to meet the growing demand for high-performance, sustainable outdoor apparel.

Oh my goodness, our daughter bought my husband and I a gift box for Christmas last year and I’ve got to say it’s certainly answered all my prayers and so much so that we’ve purchased more and will continue to do so from now on.
Being someone who suffers with my feet, I’ve been limited to wearing cushioned sole trainers all the time to enable me to walk better. Since wearing these fantastic socks, it’s been a major game changer for me so much so I can wear some of my boots again in comfort 😊. What’s even better is that I can wear one pair for a week and they do not smell whatsoever, so not only does it make them last longer, you’re also saving on washing products/electricity. It’s s a win-win all round, I would however like to see more colours available e.g. pink, purple & burgundy as I’m sure this will make them more eye catching to the ladies (my husband said he would wear those colours too).
Since speaking with the lovely sandy who was so helpful with a question I had and now knowing they are a local Cornish company who might I add export these fantastic socks (20k + every year) to Scandinavia they absolutely love them so that tells you how good they are.
I highly recommended these to all you out there.
Thankyou Trailback from a very happy satisfied family.

Thank you so much Sue for your wonderful review! The Trailback team are so interested to hear that our Pro-Extreme merino wool hiking socks with cushioned sole have helped you to wear your boots comfortably. We will also be taking your advice on adding more colours to our range and indeed, having now ordered burguny,which will be added to our range very soon. Thank you for your very kind comments and great suggestions Sandy Wallis - TRAILBACK FOUNDER

Where have these socks been my whole life? I saw these advertised in Countryside Magazine and thought that these would be a great gift for my parents because they both swear by merino wool socks for warmth. Last year, I ordered my first pair and a gift set so all of us could have a pair for Christmas and by golly we were all happy! These socks are the only socks that I have found (and I have tried several) that do not slip down inside my wellies. These socks are brilliant for keeping my feet warm in single digit temperatures and if you suffer from plantar fasciitis or arthritis, these socks will be a game changer for you. I have recommended these socks to several people now and will continue to do so. I would love to see some more colours available because then that will attract more people to purchase (as well as myself). Customer service is excellent, very friendly and helpful, will continue to support this local business to me. Thank you, Trailback.

Thank you so much Charlie for your fabulous review, it is so kind of you. We are very pleased to hear that you and your family love our Pro-Extreme merino wool hiking socks. Thank you for your great suggestion on us adding more colours to our range. As you and your family are loyal customers and have requested burgundy, we would like to tell you that burgundy will be coming soon, so please do look out for these. Thank you so much Charlie for supporting our Cornish brand. Best wishes from the Trailback team
